Don't forget you need a different linkage and possibly shock also for this upgrade... it isn't just a simple S/arm replacement as a friend of mine found out - unfortunately the hard way

exhaust needs re routing as well this mod cost around £1000 on my old 999s after getting the swing arm foc

and the fairing needs choping and repainting

whoa..slow down :lol:
I dont want it i was just surfing and came across it. i remember someone else was looking for one in another post. From the sounds of it i does seem like a pain in the arse just to get the new look. surely it would be cheaper to chop the bike in for a new one?

I think it was me that was looking into it. As JPM says, it's a pain in the backside and not worth the hassle/cost.

And how about a WSB swingarm?
I know were you can get one :D

If it is the OEM Ducati performance swingarm (which it looks like) - I fitted one to a standard 999 - fitted straight on and comes with full instructions , bolts etc even a carbon chain guard was included with the kit - no need for linkages, shock or re-routing the exhaust

Oh it fits, yes, but the linkage etc is different, for road use etc it won't be too different, but take it on a track and you'll soon find out like my mate :rolleye: then after speaking to Ducati UK you need the linkage, possibly different shock (not sure on that one) but anyway best to check with a dealer/Ducati Uk
